Costa Mesa Planning Commission Preview

HOME RANCH

C.J. Segerstrom & Sons has requested changes be made to the 1990

General Plan and to the zoning to accommodate residential, industrial,

and commercial uses at a site that currently hosts the Segerstrom

family’s lima bean farm.

With the changes, the company would like to add: 29 residential units

per acre in an area that would be High-Density Residential zoning;

252,648 square feet of industrial uses; 308,000 square feet of retail

uses, which includes a 17-acre Ikea furniture store; and 791,050 square

feet of office space.

The project also calls for the preservation of 1.5 acres to maintain

the Segerstrom family home and barn.

The proposed site, a lima bean farm bordered by the San Diego Freeway,

Fairview Road, Harbor Boulevard and Sunflower Avenue has been the center

of proposals to the city of Costa Mesa for nearly two decades.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

City staff has requested that the commission continue discussions of

the project to its Aug. 27 meeting.

CAR WASH

Tom Talebi has requested a one-year extension for a permit to

construct a single-bay car wash at the Shell service station at 2590

Newport Blvd.

What to expect: Staff has recommended approval of the resolution

pending a few conditions.

SOUTH COAST COUNSELING

Jaime Hill has requested a permit to provide drug, alcohol, and

domestic abuse counseling and instructional services at 3001 Red Hill

Ave. In addition, a request has been made to establish a shared parking

concept at the site.

What to expect: Staff has recommended that the commission approve it.
